The A08-2 is a fixed-angle plastic rotor designed for use with DLAB D1008 series (Palm Micro-Centrifuges). It is primarily used for quick spin-downs and microfiltration.
Design Features
- Snap-on Fixing: Features a quick-plug design that allows for tool-free rotor changes.
- Material: Constructed from robust plastic.
- Included Accessories: Typically bundled with the A02-PCR8
Technical Specifications
- Max Speed/RCF: Operates at a fixed 7,000 rpm 2,680g on the D1008 model.
- Materials: Constructed from high-strength plastic for durability.
- Tube Compatibility: Designed for standard 1.5 mL and 2.0mL microtubes.
Operational Features
- Tool-Free Exchange: Uses a clamp locking design, allowing you to snap the rotor onto the motor shaft or remove it by hand without additional tools.
- Noise Level: Operates quietly at 45 dB when installed in the D1008 unit.
- Safety: Features braking in seconds upon lid opening or manual stop.
Required Adapters
To use the A08-2 with smaller tube volumes, specific adapters are required:
- SA02P2: Adapts from 2 mL down to 0.2 mL (typically sold in 8-piece packs).
- SA05P2: Adapts from 2 mL down to 0.5 mL(typically sold in 8-piece packs).
Essential Safety & Maintenance
- Symmetrical Loading: Always load tubes symmetrically across the rotor to ensure balance and prevent motor wear.
- Cleaning: Use a neutral detergent for cleaning; do not autoclave the plastic rotor or expose it to temperatures above 100 degree Celcius as the material may become brittle.
- Chemical Limits: Check for chemical resistance before using flammable or corrosive samples that could degrade the plastic.
